Further Event Information:
April 19, 2026. Archery Hunt and Novelty Shoot, Shire of Windy Meads (Davis, CA) Fair weather is returning! Grab your bow and join us under the trees of Yolo County’s medieval forest for our annual Hunt and Novelty Shoot! This event gets better every year! Life-size 3-D foam animals sheltering under the trees, magical creatures and angry ducks await your arrows. Defend your comrades from the enemy fighters popping up from behind the barricade or the giant red dragon. Save us from pestilential plague rats! Targets suitable for beginners to champions will be in the mix. Youth and novice archers are encouraged to join in the fun, but beginner lessons won’t be available. Loaner gear can be available by prior arrangement only. No compound bows (SCA rules) or crossbows (Club rules). Not interested in shooting? Join us anyway and work on your project under the trees.
Gate opens at 9:00 AM and the shoot starts at 10:30 AM. Soup and bread for lunch, but you are welcome to bring something to share. Shooting is expected to be complete about 4:00 PM
